OPPD: Fort Calhoun plant is prepared to restart this spring

The Omaha Public Power District noted progress in restarting its Fort Calhoun nuclear plant in Nebraska, which has been offline since 2011. The facility could be ready for a spring restart, said OPPD Chief Nuclear Officer Lou Cortopassi, adding that many safety concerns have been resolved. "I have a high confidence level that the NRC will approve restart," he said.
